684door

My car was a 4 door 68 dart with full interior. It weighed 3100 pounds. With the combination I gave you the car pulled 1.68 60 foots with nothing but a pinion snubber for traction control with stock springs and air shocks. The front shocks were 90/10's. The car ran a best of 12.60 at 104 mph. The key was the cam and especially the converter and gears. The converter ran great on the street even for the high stall. 800 bucks, but turbo action was the best. I tried more than a few over the years. The car started at 17.76 1/4 with a stock two barrel all the way down to 12.60. This combo. was perfect. I woul come out of the whole at around 3800 to 4000 rpm.

273 cu in. 30 over 10.5:1 JE pistons, 557" Mopar purple solid cam, stock cast crank and stock rods, Edelbrock RPM intake, 700 Holley double pumper. Heads: 360 ported iron, stainless 1.88/1.60 valves, 273 adjustable rockers. Transmission: 904, low gear set, 5.1 kickdown, turbo action 8" 4800 stall converter and manual valve body. 8 3/4 4.88 gears. 8.5"X26"X15" Mickey T slicks. Shift 6800 through traps at 6800.

Sorry, had to send this message in two posts. Anyway the car had open headers and footbraked. Again it was a street car. Hope this helps. I loved it. It was different and shocked a lot of people. If anyone ever questioned it, I told them to check the numbers casted in the block. The engine spun a rod bearing some years back now, but man it was a strong engine. The only thing I wish I did differently would have been aftermarket rods for weight. Hope this helped. Any other questions, just contact me.

Hey! I heard you have done awesome things with a 273, i am working on a build and could use some pointers on your success.
